  • Serves Stonington, ME

Thank you for taking an interest in my work and considering me to be your Wedding Photographer! I'm technically based in Brooklyn, NY but have the unique situation of growing up in Maine. I then spent a decade in New Orleans where I first began my photography journey and moved up to NYC to further pursue it. I'm fortunate enough to have several places to call home and while I work a great deal in the New England & the tri-state area, I'm proud to announce that I've accepted work at an international level this year. Traveling is one of my other great passions, along with music, so it's a perfect fit.

A simple search on the wedding app led us to Karl, so we started with some engagement photos. He immediately won us over with his vibe, skill and ability to make awkward photoshoots (for me) relaxing and fun! Fast forward to our wedding, Karl continued to impress. I sent him a few inspo photos focusing on editorial-style shots and boy did he deliver! He was excellent at directing poses (BIG plus) as well as capturing those precious candids. He even flexed some drone footage and went above and beyond with a surprise reel! In addition, it's important to remember that you spend most of your wedding day with your photographer, so make sure you like them! Karl was a calm, welcoming energy all day, we even shared some laughs and inside jokes. He truly became a friend to us and our wedding party! We are so happy with our photos and this hire, we would highly recommend Karl to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Hi! I'm Kristin. I would be so honored for you to give me the opportunity to capture your love. Whether it's with the people you love, the person you want to marry, or the work you do that brings you joy. I embrace you for exactly who you are! Let's have some fun and capture it so you can show your love off in the way you want it to be seen.

Not only is Kristin an incredibly talented photographer, but she is an amazing soul to walk through your wedding day with. You don't think about it, but you are around the photographer a lot of the time! While you are getting ready, as the nerves creep up, as you drive up to the venue (or whatever version of those moments are for you). Of course she was professional and delivered gorgeous pictures at the end of it, but she was a calm presence. My husband and I both hate pictures of ourselves and loved the moments she captured, again - she put us at ease! She flittered away at points, and when I got the pictures back wondered where/when was this? How did she get this shot? Overall we told her to focus on the after party portion and I still look back at the pictures and remember that conversation and the reason we were all laughing. One other note - we had an outdoor wedding and she worked with ease and swiftness getting all the obligatory family shots as the sun was setting without a sweat! They all looked amazing too!

Revolution Summer Photography

  • Serves Stonington, ME

Nostalgia drove me into photography at an early age - and lead me into my studies of photojournalism. We all innately know when we're at a critical juncture in our lives. For me, being able to authentically capture, to preserve those moments in a photograph is such a privilege. I know how much it means to me to be able to look back and say 'this is how things actually happened.' There is beauty in those truths. The kind of folks I work with share that appreciation.

Awarded Best of Zola
Corey took incredible photos of our day, and we couldn't be more grateful. He really put us at ease, was personable with us and our guests, and was great at keeping us on schedule once we got into the thick of the celebrations. I would describe Corey's photography style as documentary, which was perfect for us, because we didn't want our photos to look too choreographed. His shots look really organic, and we appreciate that he stayed true to the vibe of our day. We will remember our wedding even more clearly because Corey's shots captured the action, and are not just an album of posed 'moments'. Really the photos speak for themselves, but we can't recommend him enough!

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
As someone who's been in the wedding industry for almost a decade, it can be challenging to find other vendors who are aligned with my business mission of inclusion and community, embraces creativity, and is a joy to hang out with. And Justin literally checks every box. He's a leader in the industry- everywhere I look I see him turning up, making space for people, encouraging and lifting them up. He's the real deal, and has the biggest heart. I happily consider Justin as more than just a "friendor," but someone who makes my life (and the world) brighter.

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. These images aren't just for you, after all - they're for the branches of your family tree that have yet to grow. For the generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaitlin is amazing to work with. As a photographer who has done weddings myself, I had high standards and specific requests that weeded out a lot of people during my search. Kaitlin immediately stood out to me as someone with the ability to capture the essence of a couple. As I browsed her galleries I felt like I knew the couples and their stories by the time I was done. My wife and I are very introverted, shy, and not used to being the center of attention — let alone in front of a camera. After consulting with Kaitlin it was even more clear that she was the perfect photographer for us. Kaitlin listened to our requests, asked us questions to get a better understanding of what sort of coverage we’d like, and checked in multiple times leading up to the wedding day to go over plans. On the day of, Kaitlin was incredible. She set her flash units up perfectly to give a beautiful sense of lighting to our indoor pictures. Kaitlin was quick and professional with our family formals without feeling like she was rushing anyone. We love our newlywed portraits, largely due to how natural it felt to work with her—again this was huge for us as two people who are a bit camera shy. Our reception photos are equally beautiful, she captured meaningful candid moments without feeling like she was standing between us and the moments happening around us. If you’re like my wife and me and aren’t used to being on camera, I would 100% recommend booking a practice session with Kaitlin either for engagement photos or couples’ photos. As a photographer I’m used to being behind the camera and not in front of it. She helped us feel comfortable and it also helped her see how we interact together as a couple. At no point did we feel like Kaitlin was commandeering our schedule to check off boxes on a shot-list. She was seamlessly integrated everything. Genuinely, I cannot recommend Kaitlin enough. Working with her is like having a best friend there take your wedding photos.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

My wife and I were so thankful that we chose Danielle as our wedding photographer. She is highly skilled, organized, and very easy to work with. She was an invaluable resource for us throughout the wedding process. In the months leading up to our wedding, she was like a wedding planner to us, guiding us through our itinerary, answering our questions, and asking important questions to help make our big day flow as smoothly as possible. On our wedding day itself, she put us both at ease and was very flexible when we decided to make a few last-minute switches. Most importantly, she helped capture so many amazing memories with her beautiful photos. We would highly recommend Danielle and Moon Rising Photography.

I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across the Florida & New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other. To the first kiss and “OMG you’re my spouse now!!” feels. To the unexpected Taco Bell run you make after the ceremony or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor. Being able to grab the moments for you to hold to forever, is such a rewarding humbling job for me.

I've had the pleasure of having Gloria Bloise as my wedding photographer, and I can't recommend her enough. She was quick to reply to emails and text messages. The quality of her work is top-notch as well. I love my wedding pictures, and Gloria did a great job at understanding exactly what I wanted. She was also very patient throughout the day, which is so valuable. Gloria is truly great at what she does - she even made sure to get a picture of us eating pizza, which was a special request of mine.

Natural, documentary, photojournalistic. Real, raw, candid. We’re not going for any stiff prom poses here. I like to capture the day as it is and to document it as it unfolds. I never want to force anything, but I step in and direct where needed. Being in front of the camera isn’t my favorite thing either. I will be here to guide you and prompt you the whole way, I promise.

Choosing Jenna as our photographer was one of the best wedding planning decisions that we made. We did an engagement session with her in the fall and were blown away by how beautiful the pictures were. We felt so comfortable with her and were excited to work with her on our wedding day. Leading up to our wedding, she gave us helpful tips about our timeline and shot list. On the day of our wedding, she made sure that everyone looked comfortable and natural in our group shots. She captured some really beautiful candid moments and made our day feel even more special. Her turnaround time for sharing the retouched images was phenomenal and it was super easy to share the online album with our friends and family. We’re so grateful that she documented our day and that we have so many beautiful photos to look back on.

Hi, I’m Julie! I’ve been photographing weddings for about ten years now (holy cow, do I feel old!), starting with photographing friends' weddings and quickly falling in love with the work. While I adore capturing gorgeous portraits of the bride and groom and the quiet (and sometimes chaotic!), beautiful moments during a wedding/elopement/engagement session, those ridiculous candid moments (like when a stranger offers you a fry on the boardwalk during your bridesmaid photos) truly make your day uniquely yours. I'd absolutely describe my style as a mixture of classic, artistic and photojournalism, but my heart lies in capturing candid moments.

Thank you so much for the amazing photos! Nick and I absolutely LOVE how they came out!! You are so creative and captured all of our favorite moments so perfectly!! Hoping to work with you again soon in the future when/if we ever have an addition to the family!! (If you do those types of pictures) We will be sure to recommend you to all of our friends/family!

Our first kiss was on the beach, under a star-filled sky, on my favorite island, only home to shells, bioluminescent creatures, and wild horses. Soon after, as two very young humans (21 and 23), we were married. As newlyweds we set off on an adventure, kayaking from Maine to Key West. On that trip, we realized how much we valued spending all our time together and being in charge of our schedule. This business is how we live out that dream.

We could not have imagined better photographers for our wedding day! We met them to get engagement pictures and we had so much fun- we were so worried about being awkward but they made us feel comfortable! And for the wedding day, they got the best shots and were so involved in the wedding without seeming like they were in the way. We got so many compliments on them day of and especially after seeing their work! Highly highly recommend them!!

He has an artistic eye for capturing emotional, raw moments as they happen and didn't miss a single special detail. Christophe was able to beautifully photograph all the joy, laughter, tears, and love without us even needing a videographer. Receiving his magical sneak peek photos so quickly after the wedding was amazing. During the event, Christophe subtly directed us at times to get some incredible shots.

She suggested venues, worked with our busy schedules to coordinate planning meetings, and even served as our officiant.

They were organized, responsible, and communicative as we were making plans, and also very easy going and up for adventure.

Steve was incredible to work with from start to finish! We had a very low-key and DIY elopement and he got us instantly. His manner in initial calls was warm and eager to learn about what we wanted and who we were as a couple, ongoing planning with him was always super clear, and on the day of he made us feel completely at-ease. His eye is incredible, and he not only managed to get very natural shots while working around every possible jogger on the esplanade but also was an absolute joy to work with.

Hey there! I’m Chris, and I’m stoked to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to help make your day everything you’ve dreamed of. I'll even bring some dog treats. You can count on me to keep things stress-free—no “photographer attitude” here. If the timeline gets off track, I’ll help get it back on schedule so you can enjoy your meal. Based in Boston, I love traveling for weddings, especially intimate gatherings of 100-150 guests. I’m a fan of venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Capturing vibrant, cinematic images is my passion, and I focus on true-to-life editing—no overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones!

Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!

We met with maybe… 30 photographers… and knew from our first call with Kate that she would be the perfect fit for us! She is so lovely - friendly, calm, funny, and really listens. We did not want our day to be all about the pictures, but of course wanted great photos to have forever. Kate was proactive and a great communicator during the planning process, answered any questions that came up promptly, and helped with our timeline. Kate made us feel so comfortable - which is probably the most important thing to find in a photographer. She was great at reading the room (and dynamics) and could tell when we were “all done” at certain times with photos. We could hardly tell she was around during the wedding which really let us enjoy the day. Her style/edits are spot on and so natural. Not too dark and moody, not too light and bright. We *love* our photos. Perfection! Kate, we will be in touch for any and all future sessions. Thank you for capturing our wedding day so beautifully!

Chrissy is an absolutely amazing photographer. I’ve followed her work for years and knew as soon as we got engaged that Chrissy would be our photographer. During the process I stressed to Chrissy I just didn’t want the same traditional boring poses/portraits for either our engagement photos or wedding photos and she delivered! Granted, there were some exceptions for family photos of course, but overall exactly what we wanted. Chrissy made us feel extremely comfortable and I trusted her judgement on everything. She is easy to work with and really goes above and beyond to make sure that your day goes smoothly. Thank you so much for everything!

Hi there! I'm Nia, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boston, MA but obsessed with traveling. I love the days when I stumble upon a new landscape, learn something new from a stranger or aimlessly drive until I end up somewhere decent. This is why I love storytelling. My favorite stories to tell are by far the love shared between two people. Storytelling and making a moment last is what drew me to photography. Documenting your day in an honest, soulful way that shows who you are is what I strive for.

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently had the pleasure of working with Nia for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we met her, her easy-going nature put us at ease. She made us feel comfortable and genuinely connected with us. We are both somewhat camera shy and she made the entire process from our engagement photos to our wedding SO fun. We wanted our event captured candidly and she truly did that. The turnaround time for our sneak peak photos was impressively fast and they exceeded our expectations. Each photo beautifully captured the emotions of the day, and we loved that they felt authentic and true to us. If you're looking for a photographer who is personable, communicative, and delivers stunning work, we wholeheartedly recommend Nia.

I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

My fiance and I had a great experience working with Caroline for our engagement photo mini session! I was amazed at how many moments she was able to capture in a short 20 minute session. The edited photos are beautiful- the romantic style is just perfect. We almost didn't do engagement photos, but I'm so glad that we had Caroline capture this exciting time.

Our team prides ourselves on being professional third-wheels on your wedding day. We are perfect for those who thrive on love and connection, and are looking for bold and purposeful imagery. We have 2 wedding associates, 2 family photographers, and a husband and wife videography team

Maddy was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the moment we connected with her, we knew she was it. I had searched high and low for months, after seeing so many washed out, boring photos - Maddy's photography was an absolute breath of fresh air. Her work was full of life, love, energy, emotion and beautiful colors; which I knew was exactly what I wanted! Once Maddy spoke with us on the phone, she felt familiar and comfortable, like an old friend, to which she TRULY did become someone we can consider a friend. Maddy was there for us with whatever we needed through the entire planning process... She is impeccable with her communication, and whether it was questions, moral support, or just a lighthearted pick me up - she ALWAYS was there for us. Her process was also very easy, straightforward, and her questionnaires and blog posts cover everything your and your spouse might need to know! Leading up to our day, we didn't get to physically MEET Maddy until the day of our wedding, to which she showed up obviously completely over-prepared (which my Type A appreciates beyond a reasonable doubt), excited, and ready to go with us! The INCREDIBLY warm hug she gave both of us just reinforced what we already knew - she was meant to be with us on our big day! Maddy kept us laughing, happy, AND she ran THE BEST interference lol. She is a great reader of emotions, situations, and even pulled me (Alex) aside at one point to have a cool down outside because she knew I was a bit overwhelmed by my family. Through the ceremony and reception Maddy and her assistant were GREAT! We got SO many compliments about both of them from our guests - noting that they were SUPER stealth when they needed a shot! Maddy also has an incredible eye, and her vision for photos is next level... She was able to direct us through everything and if you need yourself a hype girl - OH SHE IS IT!!! She’s also an absolute BOSS and will take control of a situation *if need be,* which was also important to us.. She made group/family/bridal party photos quick and painless which was SO needed, and also got a TON of fun shots through the night! Seeing our shots come to life was spectacular, and when she sent us the sneak peaks we were absolutely FLOORED.... And then seeing our full gallery!? Stunning. Just truly extraordinary. We cannot stop staring at our wedding photos. We share them any chance we get, and so many of our friends and family have asked us how they could use Maddy for their photography needs. Anyone we show our photos to is absolutely taken aback by them, and truly, I think the relationship we created with Maddy shows through in our photos. We were comfortable, excited and genuinely happy! Maddy made our emotions, happiness, and visions come to life through her photos - she is WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT! We truly can’t wait for Maddy to be in our life through all of the changing seasons and new chapters.

I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come.

Hi there! We're a husband and wife photography team that loves capturing genuine emotion and real moments at your wedding. We believe that there's magic in everything, and our goal as your storytellers is to capture that magic in a way that's honest and true to who you are. We focus on the unique elements that tell the tale of your day, so your final wedding gallery has a timeless storybook feel.

Jaime & Eddie were the photography duo of our dreams. Their balance of artistry and realism comes together to make the most beautiful images that capture the joy and emotion of our day, while still hitting on all the major “bridal” points. From the beginning, Jaime and Eddie vibed so well with us, really taking our vision for engagement photos to the next level (even driving us around Boston in their car to find hidden gems). They took the lead on ensuring our wedding timeline was well rounded and encompassed everything we wanted to do for the day (even taking the curve ball of a boat ride in the middle of cocktail hour in stride). Although they had never shot our venue before, they drove over on their own time ahead of the weekend to walk around the property - truly going the unnecessary extra mile. The results of their calm and professional, yet fun and lighthearted nature are incredibly beautiful. A mere day or two after our wedding, we had dozens of stunning sneak peeks to look through and share. A month later, we are still getting compliments on how amazing they were in person and how beautiful the finished product is. Could not recommend them more!
